^^That means you're approved and plastics in the mail.

Well, I'm here to eat crow. My grandfather just text me and says his just came in but the website still hasn't updated. Watch that mailbox Ron, another batch went out this week. Hang in there.

Some of those guys are confused about how to check that status. It's not exactly bold text when you sign in saying "You've Been Approved, License in the Mail" and some folks are missing it on the page.

He tolded me that they have recently been backing up with so many apps coming in and that I should get a update on my status next week... Until then..

Glad to hear that! Another couple weeks and I bet you have your license.

Fast forward 3 days & no email response to my inquiry to RDS.... do they answer emails or should I call to ask about the status of my app?

I never got a response to my email either, but it's probably best to call given your predicament. I hope they get you squared away soon.

I took my grandfather, father, mother, younger brother and a co-worker with me, and several of us have submitted the paperwork on the same days so we shall see who gets their license first.

UPDATE
April 15- My plastic was in the mail when I got off work!

I deviated from tradition and went to Albertsons instead of Walmart but it went well enough. I carried a fullsize Glock 21 and am determined to make that work but it will definitely require some changes to how I dress (or I can lose some weight )

My coworker says he received his today as well but my grandfathers status still hasn't changed. Hopfully its because of prior security clearances.

I haven't heard back from the email but my status miraculously changed the day after emailing them. Sqeeky wheel gets the grease maybe?

Now I'm with the group waiting for the mailman.

I broke down and sent an email asking if they had received all my documents and what the status was. After reading so many posts of folks getting their licenses in two to three weeks I had convinced myself that I'd see a status update on Tuesday or Wednesday and now I'm bummed it's Friday and haven't heard anything. I regret not mailing my form in after reading about all the emails lost in space too.

Just to clarify, you check your status by logging into the chl app site and looking for an option besides applying for the instructors license, correct?
